To credit Microsoft with this is unfortunate and incorrect. Credit Apple with bringing the GUI to the desktop. They released the Lisa in 1983, and then the Macintosh 128K in 1984, which was immediately popular. Microsoft release Windows 1.0 near the end of 1985. Windows did not become popular until version 3.1, which was released in October of *1992*. -- Mason Loring Bliss [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ewige Blumenkraft! http://blisses.org/ awake ? sleep : random() & 2 ? dream : sleep; -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
